Marked by striking seaweed marquetry details, the La Rochelle Collection is a paradigm of traditional furnishings.
Inspired by organic shapes, the Soho Collection references retro 1950’s overtones in a creative display of contrasting materials and modern feminine shapes.
Inspired by the legendary Italian designer Ico Parisi circa 1950, the Architects House Collection displays angular lines in natural oak wood finish with antique brass fittings.
Handcarved wood in a ‘twisted’ formation take center stage for the Twist Collection to create an illusionary feast for the eyes.
